' No ForeigiVRadio Goods for England American-Made Wireless Ap paratus May Be Barred From Trade in Britain. London, (By A. F.) American and other foreign wireless apparatus will be excluded trom use by British broadcasting firms if a recommenda tion of Postmaster General Kellaway is adopted by the cabinet. Mr. Kella way urges that for a period of two years licenses for broadcasting na tion s should contain a provision tha: onlv British instruments be used. following the example of Ameri can journals, the British .newspapers and magazines are devoting columns and pagea to wireless topics. But broadcasting in this country is in an almost nebulous Stage; and wireless receiving by the masses has not at tained anything like the popularity it enjoy in the United States. The government is slow in inaugurating a general broadcasting scheme. Some newspapers are warning amateurs to Be careful about cheap leceiving sets some ot them ot American and French origin which are being widely offered. it broadcasting were officially es tablished in England the whole posi tion would become clearer," W. W. urury, managing director of the Marconi company, said recently. "However, the Marconi company' an ticipates a large demand in the future for receiving sets and it is turning out many thousands of them. When the winter evenings com-! end peo ple want to sit at home and listen to the outside world, there will be a great increase in the demand." Paris Beginning to 'Listen in' on Concerts MM Pari, (By A. P.) Radio broad casting is making strides in Paris, although it has by no means attained the popularity which prevails in the United States. This is due in part to the fact that all sending stations must have a government license and pay a fee. 1 Receiving sets are sold as low as $4, and for $60 .an instrument can be obtained with wjiich concerts given at The Hague can be heard.

V Taft Speaks. Dependence upon action of con gress to effect reform to remove de lavs add to bring about speed in the administration of justice "has not brought thg best results and some different made should be tried,'' Wil liam Howard Taff, chief justice of the united States, told the associa tion, i '' "The failure of justice in this country, said Chief Justice Taft, "especially in the state courts, have been more largely due to the with holding of power from judges 3)ver proceedings before them than to any other cause; and yet Judges have to uear,ine Drum w criticism wmcn is so general as to the results of "pres ent court action., .The judges should be given the power commensurate with their responsibility Their ca pacity to reform' matters should be tried to see whether better results may not be attained. Federal judges doubtless have their -faults, but .they are not chiefly responsible for the present defects in the administration of justice in the. federal courts. Let congress give them an opportunity to snow what can be doneby vesting in them sufficient discretion tor the purpose, -y.' ' v Suggests Remedy. "What I would suggest is that congress provide for a commission, to be appointed by the president, of two supreme court justices, two cir cuit judges, 'two district judges and three lawyers of prominence from a list recommended by the American Bar association, to prepare and recommend to congress amendments to the present statutes of practice and the judicial code,.'authorvzing a unit administration of law and equity in one form of, civil action. The act should provide for a permanent com mission similarly created with power to prepare a system of rules vof pro cedure for adoption by the supreme court. "Power to amend from time to time should also be given. The rules and their amendmentsJafter approval by the court, should be submitted to congress for its action, but should become effective in six months, if congress takes no action. In . this way the procedure would be framed by those most familiar with it and by those whose duty it is to enforce it. ' The advantage of experiment in the laboratory of the . court . would furnish valuable suggestions for bet tering the system. - The important feature, of such a system is that need ed action by the commission , and the court will be promptly taken and the necessary delay in a congress crowded with, business may be avoided." - ..

International Bank Proposed by Hitchcock Nebraska Senator Would Have Paper lsaued by Institution Replace Gold as HaM of World Credit. New York Auir. 10. A plan for a international bank with a capital ol $3,400,000,000, which would revolu lionize the method of conducting in ternational commercial . transactions, was advanced by United Mates hen ator Hitchcock of Nrbratka in i SDeeeh before the midsummer eon venlion of the National Retail Dry Goods association at Grand Central palace. Under Senator Hitchcock's pro' posal. which startled his hearers paper Issued by the projected bank would be substituted for gold as the basis of international credit, and what the senator characterized as '"gam bling" in foreign exchange would be prevented. Among Other things, the plan includes a settlement ot the on armament oroblem. In many partic ulars it differs from the plan of an international bank suggested some months ago by Frank A. V anderlip U. S. Would Take Stock. As orooosed the bank would be in corporated and the United States government would subscribe to $1, 300,000,000 of the stock. With this stock ownership the United States would have 13 directors of 24 and thus would have control. Other na tions of the world would be entitled to subscribe S900.000.000 of the stock. and banks, bankers, exporters and im porters interested m international credit would be entitled to subscribe to $200,000,000 worth. To become stockholders, nations of the world, under the plan, "may make treaty arrangements with the presi dent of the united Mates, une-tmra of the capital to be accepted by each nation or stockholder is to be paid in firold and the remaining two-thirds may be paid in interest-bearing bonds of solvent governments.
